With The 13th Pick In The NFL Draft The Detroit Lions Select....

DP's Pick:
Tyron Smith, OT, USC

The Lions would have loved if Prince or Peterson fell to them, however they have to settle for the big offensive tackle Tyron Smith. He can play on either side of the ball and has better upside than any other prospect in this draft. I'm not going to sit here lie to you like I know anything about blocking, so I guess he gets in the way of defenders better than the other people. Plus he has a pretty sweet name.

BMack's Pick:
Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska

Prince is still on my board, so this becomes an obvious pick for the Lions. Chris Houston is coming along nicely for the Lions, and if Prince can lineup across from him that would give them a nice young defensive backfield to build around. With Suh already up front, and an offense that is coming together (if they can Matthew Stafford healthy), it seems like we say this every year, but this is a team that could start challenging for a playoff spot soon. Amukamara had 5 picks in 2010 at Nebraska, and you have to be impressed with his tackling skills racking up 155 tackles last year. I always like CBs with size, and this kid has decent size at 6-0 and over 200 pounds.

With The 11th Pick In The NFL Draft The Houston Texans Select....

DP Pick:
Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska

This guy has top 10 talent and with the Texans letting up Madden numbers every game, this pick would help alleviate some of the bleeding. He's not as good as Peterson but he's a notch below, and the Texans can plug him in and expect him to play right away. They also could go with a DE here to help out Cushing, but Prince has too much talent to turn down.

BMack Pick:
Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina

The Texans add a hell of a pass rusher to a defensive line that already has Mario Williams. The Texans biggest need is at CB, and they do get burned deep, but they used a 1st round pick on a CB last year, and one of the ways you can stop the deep ball is by taking away the time to throw it. Quinn has top 5 talent, and I just don't see the Texans letting him slip any further. The only reason he falls this far is because he wasn't able to play last year after getting suspended by the NCAA for lying to investigators about receiving travel accommodations and jewelry. So there are some character questions, but once again his talent forces the Texans to make this pick.
